Retrofitting posed a significant challenge to the Molson Coors team. When undertaking change within its production cycle, the business created an SAP N+1 environment to separate testing and development from its existing production system. Molson Coors needed to ensure it could move its planned changes out of the production cycle and into its N+1 landscape, so that development & Quality Assurance (QA) systems in that landscape mirrored the production track in real time.
Molson Coors also needed to reduce downtime, which had affected the business for a number of years when they made changes within SAP. The team previously managed transports manually on spreadsheets, which impacted business continuity through human error.
They were also conscious of the limitations of Segregation of Duties, which is designed to minimize the risk of fraud and errors and protect company assets such as data or inventories. In the past, Molson Coors had experienced an unplanned production outage caused by undesirable software changes being imported into the system, creating significant operational wastage and costs across stock, shipping and transportation, and warehousing, which it needed to avoid a repeat of.
Molson Coors chose ActiveControl – the change management solution from Basis Technologies – to manage its business-critical migration to AWS Cloud. Its ability to automate and govern change in even the most complex SAP landscapes, while ensuring business continuity for a production cycle that couldn’t afford to slow down, made it the right solution for the job.
Embracing automation with ActiveControl would enable Molson Coors to streamline its change processes, reduce downtime, and protect day-to-day operations during its migration to the cloud. It also allows them to monitor the progress of change initiatives in real-time and identify bottlenecks to optimize workflows.
